Case Study: Volvo Group reduces transportation costs and streamlines inbound logistics with Oracle Transportation Management (Oracle)

Volvo Group Logistics Services Reduces Costs with Oracle Transportation Management

Volvo Group Logistics Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of AB Volvo that manages inbound, outbound and packaging-material logistics for Volvo’s global brands, faced rising transportation costs and complex inbound flows. The company needed a modern online booking system to streamline supplier shipments, increase competition and control among carriers, optimize less‑than‑truckload (LTL) shipping, and reduce administrative overhead without sacrificing quality.

Volvo implemented Oracle Transportation Management with dynamic planning, carrier competition mechanisms, and automated KPI reporting and business monitors. The solution consolidated small orders to optimize LTL, automated administrative tasks like invoice reviews and payments, and provided proactive control of transport flows—resulting in lower transportation costs, greater flexibility, fewer bottlenecks and time‑ and cost‑savings with reduced risk of errors.
